Good thing these guy reached their technical peak before an H-1b visa grunt would have put them out on the street.
Pretty much. The H1b program takes entry level jobs from Americans, killing their ability to get started
Considering the first two are a Finn and a Brit not working in the United States ....
I don’t think h1b applies
Always purchase/hire from the HIGHEST bidder, right?
If OPEC jacks up the price of oil, we should never consider producing more.
Competition works wonders. High priced elitists should deliver more bang for the buck if they want to justify those higher salaries.
The whining about H1B visas sounds suspiciously like union members complaining about “scabs”.
Or Ivy League grads touting their being part of an intellectual superior tribe rather than actually doing a better job.
May the best man win, not the one with the best political connections.
Linus Torvalds created Linux, a free operating system, in his dorm room at the University of Helsinki.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor from June to December 1980 when he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. To demonstrate, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
Whine all you want, but people don't need your protectionism to create and invent. The very first two names on that list surely didn't. And those who use H1-B visas could also invent and create similar, maybe even better, inventions. Maybe your inability to compete has more to do with your abilities than the H1-B program and the lower wages they might request.
